The Dream Act, which grants tax funded in-state tuition to illegal immigrants to Maryland colleges, comes at a hefty cost to legal citizens. The in-state tuition program is subsidized by tax dollars, which means We The People pay the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition for students receiving the benefit.
The in-state tuition rate at the University of Maryland is about $8,000, while the regular rate is about $24,000. That $16,000 difference is what it costs taxpayers for each qualifying student.
So the Dream Act forces Maryland taxpayers to spend $16,000 per illegal immigrant. For the same money, we could send two inner-city citizens FREE OF CHARGE to the University of Maryland.
This bill is not about access to college, folks. It’s about rewarding the Democrats new voting bloc: illegal immigrants. Expect there to be a huge push for illegals to vote next year when the petition is successful in placing this bill on the ballot in 2012.
And yes, illegals can vote. Not lawfully; but because Maryland’s voting laws are so weak, there is no verification to prevent illegals from voting in our elections. And these are people whose first act in coming to this country was to violate our immigration laws. They shouldn’t have any qualms about violating our voting laws either.
